Hell yeah, nice find! Some of those sound really cool. Animated themes is a sweet addition, along with the timer for d/ls, and the clan blade, I could keep going.

Question...Increased space size for gamerpics and dashboard themes....So when the update happens people will be able to see gamerpics better? They will be bigger in the f/l? I hope so, I sometimes can't tell what peoples pics are. I know thats minor, but cool none-the-less.

wonder if that includes multi voice chat but I doubt it.

I feel like that was supposed to come our forever ago. That would be nice, I was just thinking about that earlier today. Why would it be so hard to accomplish multi chat?

I'm excited about the Xvid support. Im a huge movie watcher and almost all pirated videos are Xvid

Takes up a lot of bandwidth, Not to mention the cheating possibilities in some games... While it would be nice I don't expect Microsoft to ever implement it.

The clan support is going to be cool since Halo 3 isnt having a clan feature.
